Welcome to the Universe: An Astrophysical Tour

Fairly easy to understand

Such a great book! I was a little nervous about whether I’d be able to understand everything as astrophysics is quite an intimidating subject. However, everything is so well explained that it made it seem very intuitive. I’m really glad I read it and recommend it to anyone interested. By the way, sorry if I made any mistakes (English isn’t my native language).

This was quite enjoyable and informative. I have read several books by Neil DeGrasse Tyson, but this one was by far my favorite. This book offers a more in-depth discussion of astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmology, and it compliments his other books very nicely. Each of this book's authors have their own distinct method of presenting information, and I found it quite refreshing to receive different narratives of the material. Additionally, I am thrilled that this book offers the equations that explain the material in question. I would advise that you read a more basic, introductory book to find if you are interested in these topics, as the explanations in this book introduce a more comprehensive approach. If you love astronomy, astrophysics, and cosmology, (and you don't mind some mathematics), this book is 100% worth the read!

good book

This is an incredible book. A little too much advanced for the general public, but the general ideas in the book are well presented.

"Welcome to the universe" é para todo aquele que se interessa pelo universo, pelas relações entre os corpos celestes, pela física por detrás dessas relações. O livro tem uma escrita absolutamente clara, e os autores, apesar de escreverem partes distintas, apresentam uma coesão fenomenal em relação ao conteúdo abordado. Dentre os livros de astrofísica e cosmologia da mainstream (Uma breve história do tempo, O universo numa casca de noz, Origens etc.), é um dos mais profundos.
